Verse 2

[D]Well it was kinda cold [E7] that night
[G]She stood alone on the [A] balcony
[D]Yeh, she could hear the [E7]cars roll by,
out on [G] four-fortyone like [A]waves crashing on the beach
And for one des'rate [D]moment there
[G]he crept back in her [Em]memory
[A]God it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far to reach. **

(Chorus)
